Without taking the Xuanmu Pill, the ancient wood body requires 1,440 medium-grade wood spirit stones.

Converted into low-grade spiritual stones, it costs nearly 150,000.

This is an astronomical figure for building foundations and repairing soil.

It’s a big sum even for the Golden elixir cultivators.

However, if a Jindan cultivator were to exchange 150,000 spirit stones for earth spirit roots, most of them would be willing to do so.

Journey to the West has already made it clear that I will not survive poverty!

The same goes for the Eight Phases of the Universe as the top Taoist technique.

Wealth lovers are in the right place, and wealth comes first.

"Sure enough, you still have to use Xuanmu Dan!"

Fang Xiu slowly opened his eyes, feeling the gathering of wood spirit energy in his body, and smiled.

Based on the rate at which he absorbed two medium-grade wood spirit stones in one month, it would take a full sixty years to absorb 1,440 pieces.

And a black wood pill is equivalent to the effect of a medium-grade wood spirit stone.

The cost of a furnace of Xuanmu Dan can be reduced to about a thousand spirit stones.

Su Lingyun made fifteen elixirs, and to Fang Xiu, their actual value was comparable to fifteen hundred spirit stones.

In other words, just relying on Su Lingyun to refine the Blackwood Pill could save him 50,000 spirit stones.

If her alchemy skills continue to improve, the rate of elixir formation will increase, and she can make a higher-quality black wood elixir...

"This time when I go to the secret realm, I have to get as much spiritual wood as possible... to further reduce costs."

Fang Xiu walked out of the inner room and asked Su Lingyun to stay in the city to practice.

He left the west gate and headed for the Wanshou Plain of Zhou State.

The Wanshou Plain is located in the center of Zhou Kingdom, where an ivy tree that is more than 10,000 years old grows.

Hence the name Wanshou.

The straight-line distance between Tianhuo Fairy City and Wanshou Plain is 150,000 miles.

However, the opening time of the secret realm is one month after harvesting the branches of the ivy tree, at eight noon on the first day of August.

There was still nearly a month left before the eighth day of August, so Fang Xiu got on the flying boat and rushed towards the Wanshou Plain in a hurry.

He planned to arrive in the middle of the month, so that he would be neither early nor late and would not attract anyone's attention.

South of the Wanshou Plain where the evergreen ivy trees are located, there is a huge canyon extending from the Huangquan Mountains.

It's called Falling Immortal Canyon.

This canyon was erected exactly in the middle of the Zhou Kingdom, dividing the lower half of the Zhou Kingdom into two parts.

It is said that thousands of years ago, the Five Elements Sect and the Yin Yang Pavilion originally belonged to the Hunyuan Sect.

The Hunyuan Sect is a top sect comparable to the Qingtian Sword Sect, and the mountain gate was once located next to the Falling Immortal Canyon.

Later, for unknown reasons, civil strife broke out in the Hunyuan Sect. One of the two Nascent Soul Lords ran away and the other disappeared.

The Five Elements Sect and the Yin Yang Pavilion also separated at this time, one in the east and one in the west, to establish medium-sized sects.

The middle part of the Zhou Kingdom.

On the vast plain, there stands a giant tree with a diameter of nearly a hundred feet.

The giant trees exude a strong breath of life, and their branches and leaves are as green as a canopy covering the sky and the sun.

The wood spiritual energy within a hundred miles radius is extremely rich, no less than the third level spiritual energy.

However, compared to the vitality of the giant trees reaching the sky, the plains here have sparse vegetation and have become semi-desert.

Around the huge tree reaching the sky, monks gathered in groups to watch.

Most of these are casual cultivators who arrived early.

Most of them are refining Qi and cultivating soil, but in each small group, there are foundation-building monks leading the team.

At this time, a handsome young man in black robes slowly landed in a flying boat. Behind him stood a dark-skinned young man in gray robes with an unattractive appearance.

The person who came was none other than Fang Xiu and his incarnation.

"Is that the green vine wood... This is not a quasi-fourth level, it is clearly a fourth-level spiritual wood!" Fang Xiu felt the vitality and wood spiritual energy of the ten thousand-year-old green vine wood, and his heart was burning.

The complete green vine wood is definitely a real fourth-order heaven and earth spiritual object.

"Another Foundation Establishment cultivator has arrived. The man behind him seems to be a practitioner of Qi Refining Dzogchen."

Compared with Fang Xiu's cultivation in the initial stage of foundation building, his cultivation in the form of Qi Refining Dzogchen is even more eye-catching.

Because the foundation-building monks cannot enter the first level of the Azure Secret Realm.

Every cultivator of Qi Refining Dzogchen is a powerful enemy.

After a while, a foundation-building monk came up to say hello.

It turns out that there are many foundation-building monks here who come from major chambers of commerce in the Zhou Kingdom.

There are even foundation building managers from the Yuan Kingdom and Wei Kingdom Chamber of Commerce.

When disciples of sects and aristocratic families enter the secret realm, no matter how many good things they get after coming out, they can leave with their elders.

But casual cultivators do not have powerful elders to protect them.

Ordinary foundation-building cultivators lead a team, which is not enough to shock the tribulation cultivator.

Especially those who are willing to show off their skin and build soil in the later stages of foundation building are even more of a nightmare for casual cultivators.

Therefore, the best way for casual cultivators to get the elixir in the secret realm is to sell it directly to the on-site chamber of commerce or sect. The sect will benefit from it and will also escort the casual cultivators away safely.

It's a win-win.

Next half month.

Sect cultivators appeared one after another.

A feathered serpent as big as a hundred feet fell from the clouds.

Standing above the feathered snake is a male cultivator in green robes, with a tall and straight posture, majestic and majestic, and no mana fluctuations on his body.

And although the feathered serpent beneath it had restrained its demonic power, its pair of green eyes looked around in all directions, and the real sense of oppression made all the foundation-building monks tremble. The Qi-refining monks even felt their legs become weak and unsteady.

Even though he was far away, Fang Xiu felt that the energy and blood in his body were not flowing smoothly, and he felt faintly depressed.

"Third-level monster!"

Fang Xiu's eyes narrowed.

The feathered snake in front of me is probably a genuine third-level monster, not comparable to the fake Dan real person.

If the spiritual pressure is released with all the strength, it is estimated that the demonic power alone can directly severely damage the ordinary foundation building soil.

"Is this the true strength of the third level...:"

Fang Xiu frowned slightly and backed away with his avatar.

At this time, more than ten cultivators fell from the back of the feathered snake.

Fang Xiu saw three acquaintances among them: Yu Yongwei, Lin Shaoyu, and Mu Qingxuan.

"Fellow Daoist Fang!"

Yu Yongwei looked around the field and found Fang Xiu behind the crowd, waving to Fang Xiu.

She looked too young, but she was already building foundations and soil, which attracted the attention of the casual cultivators present.

"Fang Xiu's face twitched slightly, and he could only face him bravely.

"Fellow Taoist Fish."

"Fellow Daoist Fang came very early." Yu Yongwei said with a smile, looking behind Fang Xiu.

"This fellow Taoist must be...

"Junior Shi Potian, I have met Senior Yu." The avatar stepped forward with a solemn expression and saluted respectfully.

"You don't have to be polite, Fellow Daoist Shi. Since you are a good friend of Fellow Daoist Fang, just be friends with me as an equal." Yu Yongwei smiled.

At this time, Lin Shaoyu and Mu Qingxuan also rushed over.

Mu Qingxuan's cultivation has reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining, and Lin Shaoyu's cultivation has also stabilized at the ninth level of Qi refining.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, you are here too!" Lin Shaoyu stepped forward to greet him and curiously looked at the incarnation behind Fang Xiu.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, long time no see. Qingxuan has been practicing in seclusion a few days ago. Please forgive me for not congratulating fellow Taoist for breaking through the foundation building yet." Mu Qingxuan was calm and generous, with a smile on his lips.

"Fellow Daoist Mu is serious. It seems that it won't be long before it's my turn to celebrate Friend Mu." Fang Xiu smiled.

Mu Qingxuan's spiritual root sensitivity is close to the top level, and with the strong support of the family behind him, he has reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining at the age of thirty-one.

If nothing else, we should be able to break through the foundation building.

"The same goes for Fellow Daoist Lin." Fang Xiu looked at Lin Shaoyu again.

Children of families with good backgrounds like them, if they reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining, will usually have a chance to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.

In addition, there is also the sect’s true inheritance competition.

"Then I'll take the good advice from Taoist friend Fang." Lin Shaoyu smiled. Now he had already corrected his position and paid more attention to his friendship with Fang Xiu.

"By the way, are the two fellow Taoists going to enter the secret realm this time?" Fang Xiu calculated the number of Qi Refining disciples in Yin Yang Pavilion, and including Lin Shaoyu, Mu Qingxuan and his incarnation, there were exactly ten people.

"I didn't make it into the top five in this True Inheritance Competition. I couldn't get the Foundation Building Pill from the sect, so I had to take the risk and give it a try." Lin Shaoyu was a little annoyed.

"Fellow Daoist Mu...:" Fang Xiu looked at Mu Qingxuan. He remembered that Yu Yongwei said that Mu Qingxuan ranked fourth in the true inheritance competition.

"My father has sacrificed a lot to support my cultivation. I want to prepare a foundation-building pill for him...

"Mu Qingxuan paused.

Fang Xiu lamented Mu Qingxuan's filial piety, and Xianlan might have done the same thing.

'Fellow Daoist Mu, Friend Daoist Lin, this is my good friend Shi Potian, and I am a close friend. If you meet inside, you can take care of each other. ""

Fang Xiu introduced his incarnation to the two of them.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Fang."

"I've met fellow Daoist Shi."

The two of them turned their bodies outside to greet him and looked at Fang Xiu gratefully.

Although the chance of encountering it in the secret realm is low, the fact that Fang Xiu has such a heart is already touching.

"Well, you two are polite." The avatar nodded.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Fang, let's go get to know the juniors in the pavilion." Yu Yongwei changed the topic.

"That's fine." Fang Xiu nodded and followed Yu Yongwei.

The green-robed male cultivator led by Yin-Yang Pavilion is named Yuan Mingtian. He is a middle-stage Jindan cultivator and is the third-ranked master of Yin-Yang Pavilion.

At this moment, Yuan Mingtian had already put away the feathered snake.

Only because Fang Xiuyijie, a casual cultivator, was close to Yu Yongwei, did he take another look.

Fang Xiu felt even more stressed when his eyes were alert.

However, the Yuan Zhenren's attention did not stay on the body of the incarnation and Fang Xiu.

Boom!

A fiery red flying car appeared in the sky. It looked very impressive and was twenty feet tall. The two horses driving the car were all red, and their skin had fiery red horny skin similar to fish scales.

"That is the fire hearse of the Jiuyang Sect. The leader is Master Chiri, who has a peak cultivation level in the middle stage of the Golden Core. The Jiuyang Sect has a good relationship with our Yinyang Pavilion." Yu Yongwei said in a low voice.

A big man in black robes came down first from the speeding car. He had a full sky and a round pavilion. He had long dark red hair, and he looked wild and unruly.

Master Yuan went up to greet him and started chatting with the big man in black robe.

Another day passed.

A huge coffin descended, and when the coffin was opened, there was a gloomy atmosphere inside, and a group of pale-faced monks in black robes appeared.

The leader, a middle-aged man, was wrapped in bandages like a mummy.

"Those are the monks of the Golden Armor Sect. They have been working with corpse refiners all year round. It is said that they hide a fourth-level corpse king. I don't know if it is true or not." Yu Yongwei looked a little worried.

Five days later, a colorful ribbon fell from the sky, and a group of handsome men and beautiful women fell down.

The leading monk has an extremely beautiful appearance, whose gender cannot be distinguished, and has an extraordinary temperament, just like an independent fairy in Langyuan.

"That's a monk from Yuling Sect. It is said that this sect does not accept ugly disciples." Lin Shaoyu had a gossipy face.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is quite suitable to join the Yuling Sect." Fang Xiu joked.

"I'd better forget it... It is said that the ancestor of Yuling Sect has a preference for Longyang, and even low-level disciples are not spared..." Lin Shaoyu lowered his voice and his face turned pale.

"Someone in the family suggested that I go to Yuling Sect at the beginning, but fortunately I didn't go."

"Indeed." Fang Xiu paused. With Lin Shaoyu's appearance, it would be quite dangerous to join Yuling Sect.

Three days later, Qingtian Sword Sect arrived.

A hundred-foot sword rainbow penetrated the sky and the earth, and appeared with a group of disciples.

In just half a month, Fang Xiu met ten Jindan Zhenren.

Time quickly came to the eighth day of the eighth month.

When the sun passed the zenith, the sky above Qingtengmu was surging, and colorful clouds gradually emerged.

Ten Jindan Zhenren held bronze tokens at the same time. Under the infusion of huge mana, the bronze tokens soared into the sky and merged into the colorful clouds.

Rumble~!

The colorful clouds quickly condensed into a huge light column, which was ten feet in radius and more than a hundred feet in length.

The light column descended from the sky and hit the wasteland in front of the Qingteng wood.

The wasteland seemed to melt and quickly sank, and a bottomless passage appeared.

With the penetration of the light column, it was unknown where it led to.

Fang Xiu felt the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth overflowing from the passage,

"The secret realm is open!"

"Enter in order!"

The ten real people gave an order, and the disciples of the sect entered the light column in order.

The incarnation and the disciples of the Yin-Yang Pavilion jumped into the light column together.

Whoosh!

The incarnation disappeared in an instant, and before he could see the scene in front of him clearly, he felt dizzy.

When he came to his senses, he was already in a dense forest, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky, emitting bright moonlight.

Time passed bit by bit.

The one-month journey to the secret realm was gradually coming to an end.

Fang Xiu waited quietly outside, sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes to rest.

"One 400-year-old Sky Spirit Fruit."

"Two 500-year-old Wind Spirit Flowers."

"One second-grade high-quality spiritual wood."

"Three top-quality magic tools, nearly 10,000 spiritual stones."

"And... a second-grade low-quality black crocodile, which actually has the blood of a dragon!"

"It was a wise choice to let the incarnation bring the Sky Fire Halberd Talisman in this time."

Fang Xiu's face was calm, but his heart was surging.
